Automobilista Update 1.1.4.5 Released

The latest development from Reiza Studios has arrived with Automobilista update 1.1.4.5 released. With the previous two patches also bringing the Lotus 79 and Brabham B46B in April, this update focuses on tweaks and improvements to the sim racing game.

The big news is that it adds an option for Logitech G923 wheel users to disable Trueforce if there are any issues. And everyone will benefit from more cautious AI cars when you’re battling against them, as sometimes the computer drivers can be a little oblivious to you. The challenge of the AI has also been widened, with better qualifying pace, but also a lower strength range. So you should be able to find the right level of have fun opposition.

Various cars get a few tweaks, and all cars will have reduced brake face when in the optimal temperature range, along with less forcefeedback resistance when your car is stationary.
